dc.description Postcard showing two men in an early automobile outside the Bismarck Hotel at 24 S. Madison Street in downtown Battle Creek. Note the interurban car at right. Interurbans were electric light railroads which connected all of the major cities in Michigan from the 1890's into the 1930's when they were phased out due to increased use of automobiles. In the countryside the electric cars were powered by a third rail system and in the cities generally by overhead electric wires. Caption on front: Madison St. Battle Creek, Mich. en_US
